Eating crabs can be a bit intimidating, but with a few simple precautions, you can enjoy some tasty crab in no time. Crabs are abundant across North America, from the Pacific Northwest to the Atlantic Ocean. Many crabs are caught and sold fresh and the remainder is sold frozen. Fresh crabs are very mild tasting with a delicate texture. Frozen crabs are saltier, more robust, and meatier. When buying crabs, be sure to choose ones that have not been sitting around for too long. They should be lively, not dead or stiff. The thicker the body of the crab, the longer it has been frozen. Soft-shell crabs, a favorite in many areas, have soft shells. For every pound of soft-shell crabs, there are 3.5 pounds of crabmeat. There are five different types of crabs, with each type being different in size, flavor, and even some health benefits.
